Consumers are feeling the heat from rising gas prices this Spring season, thought to be caused by global demand and tension in the Middle East.

Gas prices continue to rise

Ester Henderson uses a lot
of fuel.
The 47-year-old Dallas native
uses over 40 gallons of fuel every
two weeks to fill up her Dodge
Ram pickup truck. That’s about
the same amount she uses to
fill her work’s 18-wheeler …
every day.
“It’s hurting everybody, not
just us people that are going to and
from work. I’m sure it’s hurting
businesses and companies that
use fuel throughout the day and to
operate their business,” she said.
Henderson’s employer —
the City of Dallas — said that
assumption is spot on.
The City of Dallas spends

nearly $22 million on fuel each
year, a budget that is set and
approved at the beginning of
every fiscal year. That $22 million
comprised just over one percent of
the overall city’s budget, but it was
important enough to be mentioned
in the executive summary of this
year’s city budget.
“It’s pretty volatile, with all the
tensions in the Middle East and
all the things that go on in the fuel
market. It requires us to spend a
lot of time keeping an eye on a
lot of other moving parts,” said
Errick Thompson, the Director of
Equipment and Building Services
for the City of Dallas.
The U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA) said the
market could get even more
volatile in the next few months.
Since the first of the year, the price

for a gallon of regular unleaded
gas rose 58 cents to a national
average of $3.87, according to
weekly reports from the EIA. Its
projections show this increase is
just the beginning of the annual
spring and summer climb in
fuel prices.
Last year, gas prices peaked in
May at $3.97 a gallon nationwide.
This year, the EIA estimates the
national average could exceed $4
per gallon by June.
Thompson said those figures
are for general consumers; the
City of Dallas pays a slightly
lower cost per gallon because
it purchases fuel in bulk under
a contract agreement. But even
with a contract in place, prices
still vary.
“We basically pay based on an
index price that fluctuates every

day so as the market changes, so
do our weekly or daily fuel prices,”
he said.
A small increase can make a
big impact with the city’s volume
of fuel usage — 6.7 million gallons
each year. That price climb of
about 50 cents per gallon could
mean an additional $3.4 million
to the budget.
According to the Federal
Highway Administration, the
average American drives 13,476
miles every year. Applying that
average to the city’s 4,800 vehicles,
the city is supplying fuel for 64.6
million miles of travel.
But Thompson said there
are many variables that increase
city vehicles’ mileage and fuel
consumption such as vehicle

When James Francis III bought
the Goff ’s Hamburgers franchise in
the fall of 2004, he might have been
motivated more by Goff ’s barbecue
sauce and sentiment than by a good
business investment.
“One of the reason I wanted
to buy it I think is because I loved
the hickory sauce and I wanted the
recipe,” Francis said.
He grew up going to Goff ’s and
remembers fondly the burgers and
atmosphere of the restaurant. Francis
loved the food and the relationship
the staff had with the customers.
SMU historian Marshall Terry
doesn’t share the same nostalgia
Francis does. Instead, his strongest
memories of the joint from when he
was an SMU student are of a gruff
owner who harassed the customers.
“We usually avoided Goff ’s. The
owner would appear from time to
time and act ugly to students,” Terry
said.
But despite that, Terry would still
make the occasional visit to Goff ’s
just for the burgers.
Goff ’s Hamburgers has been
an institution in Dallas since they
opened their doors in 1950. Abe
Gough and his wife started the
company 62 years ago on Lovers

While most SMU students
spent spring break relaxing, a
select group of Lyle students
decided to volunteer overseas.
SMU’s Engineers Without
Borders chapter sent some of
its members to Panimacac,
Guatemala to install a water
pump that has the potential to
help an entire community.
The water pump will help
farmers with irrigation and
provide a reliable source of
drinking water to the rural
Guatemalan village.
None of the students had
ever visited the site before,
and only a few of them speak
Spanish fluently.
However, the students
prepared for their trip over a
span of two years.
“We are putting in a
better engineering system,
an
enhanced
system,”
Travis Miller, president of
SMU’s Engineers Without
Borders, said.
An assessment trip took
place a few years ago to test
the soil and water in the area,
but all the students on that trip
graduated before work on the
project started.
The organization first
stumbled upon the project
when they were searching
the

nine other locations before handing
the company off to their son Harvey.
Harvey expanded the restaurant to 13
different locations in the Dallas area
until he decided to sell the franchise
and land the company had acquired.
The Goff ’s properties were sold off
relatively quickly, but the franchise
itself remained unsold. The future
of Goff ’s was unclear.
That is when Francis stepped

in. He had always loved Goff ’s and
feared that if he didn’t take advantage
of the opportunity presented to him,
one of his favorite burger joints would
cease to exist. So Francis bought the
company and moved the location
over to Hillcrest Avenue, near the
SMU campus. That location opened
in February of 2005.
Francis wanted the new location
to feel the same as the original.
He tried to replicate the look he

remembered from the restaurant as
a kid. He brought over the old tables
and chairs from the original place.
He also wanted the recipes to stay as
true to the original as possible. But
Francis did make a few alterations
after buying the restaurant.
Francis used to watch the former
owner hassle and ridicule the
customers whenever he went to the

manageable for a relatively
new organization.
Group members are also
passionate about the cause.
“This was a community
whose biggest problem was
water and once that was clear,
it would grow,” Miller said.
The design the engineers
mapped was too complicated
to
complete
during
spring break.
Miller and other members
plan on taking a second
trip mid-May.
During the first trip, they
began installing the tank and
will finish connecting all the
pipes and testing the water at
the end of the school year.
The student engineers
believe their plan is solid, but
members are cautious about
the final result of their efforts.
“I would say that the biggest
challenge will be the one we
don’t expect. Obviously, you
can come up with the best,
most efficient plan possible,
but the situation on the ground
is never going to be exactly
what you thought it would be,”
Connor Kite, a junior, said.
Miller is still in disbelief
that the trip is happening.
He is excited to give back
and change the lives of those
who live in the community.
“ I don’t think I have fully
realized the implications
of what we are doing,”
Miller said.
“You’re loving people and
you’re serving them. That’s a
beautiful thing.”

OMGPOP brings a whole
new meaning to Pictionary
with its new app called
Draw Something.
The free app allows users
to draw from three objects of

and then draw.
Think of it like an electronic
version of ‘pictionary.’
The users compete against
each other in trying to guess
what the other has drawn by
sorting out a series of tiles into
the allotted spaces to complete
the word.
Though it may seem
elementary, Draw Something
now has 13 million daily users

Yoga has been practiced
for thousands of years so it
can hardly be called a new
exercise trend.
However, over the past few
years it seems as though this form
of exercise has become more
popular than ever.
Not only has its popularity
grown, there are a vast amount of
different practices, which might
seem a bit overwhelming if you
have never tried it before.
How do you know what type
of yoga is right for you?
Well, the only real way is
to try out several classes and
figure out which one you feel fits
you best.
Yoga is practiced for all kinds
of reasons.
“I love doing yoga because
it is a great complement to my
cardio workouts,” SMU student
Elizabeth Ansbro said. “It has
increased my flexibility and really
helps with my stress levels.”
From weight loss, to reducing
stress and increasing selfawareness there is bound to
be a type that you will fall in
love with.

“Yoga is great for me because
I love to run and it stretches
out my muscles,” SMU student
Tori DeClaris said. “But more
importantly it makes me feel
rejuvenated inside and out.”
If you practice regularly, you
will notice improvement in your
posture due to strengthened
abdominal
and

Because yoga involves a lot of
deep breathing, it may improve
your lung capacity to strengthen
your endurance in other
aerobic activities.
Most yoga students agree that
while they practice yoga for a
number of reasons, the mental
sense of peace they gain from it
tops the list.
Yoga creates a sense of selfawareness about your body as
you concentrate on each posture
and will take your mind off of
anything stressful you have going
on in your life outside of your

Opera

Vocal leads
stun in ‘The
Lighthouse’
Alex Hoskins
Staff Writer
ahoskins@smu.edu
Kevin Moriarty creates
worlds, worlds with their own
unique rules and atmospheres.
As artistic director of Dallas
Theater Center, Moriarty has
made his mark on the Dallas
Arts scene with stunning,
technologically
advanced
productions that give audiences
a glimpse into one of his unique
worlds for a few hours before
the curtain falls and we return
to our own world.
“The Lighthouse” is no
exception.
Peter Maxwell Davies’s
“The Lighthouse” is the
first in a new series of
chamber operas.
The opera offers us a glimpse
into the non-fictional mystery of
the suspicious disappearances
of the three men stationed at a
lighthouse on the Flannan Isles
near Scotland years ago.
The crew of the supply
ship “Hesperus” arrive at the
lighthouse to find the structure
in a state of disorder as if the
three men had disappeared into
thin air.
Because of this, inquiries are
mounted as to what befell these
three men. The opera portrays
the mystery and investigates
the potential natural and
supernatural possibilities of the
fates of these three men.
“The Lighthouse” first
premiered in Edinburgh,
Scotland in 1980. But the
mystery of the disappearance
has never been solved.
The opera production is
an intriguing mystery to the
audience in and of itself.
The opera never exactly
divulges what it believes to have
happened to the three men.
Instead it keeps the audience
wrapped in unnerved suspense
until the end.
The music, conducted by
Maestra Nicole Paiement, is
not the traditional “classical
opera fare” of Wagner
and Mozart.
The music instead takes
on a rather more abstract,
foreboding tone, which fits the
opera thematically.
Melodies and patterns are
sparse in the score, keeping the
listener just as unsure of what
note will come next as what
will befall the lighthouse trio.
The score works seamlessly
with
the
atmosphere,
heightening
the
tense
uncertainty surrounding the
lone lighthouse tower.
The three voices of the
opera: Andrew Bidlack (tenor),
Robert Orth (baritone), and
Daniel Sumegi (bass) are
stunning.
Each voice is incredibly
strong and manages to
follow
the
challenging
score flawlessly.
The venue affects the
experience as well.
As “The Lighthouse” is
performed in the Wyly Theater,
the performers are much
closer to the audience than in
a traditional opera house and
were therefore placed under the
greater scrutiny of very close
observers.
Each singer, however, acted
the part bestowed on them as
well as they sang it.
The singers also managed
an excellent on-stage chemistry
as both the lighthouse trio and
the officer corps.
The magic of
“The
Lighthouse” is how every aspect
of the opera comes together in
Moriarty’s little world.
As the music plinks and
dips, the onstage “ocean” casts
faint growing ripples along the
indistinct walls of the Wyly
Theater. With each drawn out
note comes a ripple across
the ocean.
What’s causing these ripples
and tides on the water’s surface?
You don’t know. Just as you
start to get your bearings, fog
creeps in and the music takes
another sharp turn and you’re
lost in the opera once again.

‘Tigers Be Still:’ Talent that can’t be tamed
Alex Hoskins
Staff Writer
ahoskins@smu.edu
What do popsicle stick houses, the
movie Top Gun, and a dog named
“Anus” have in common? Tigers Be
Still, that’s what.
Tigers Be Still, a “comedy about
depression” by Kim Rosenstock,
deals with the darkly comedic lives of
Grace (Aleisha Force), Sherry (Abbey
Siegworth), Joseph (Chamblee
Ferguson), and Zack (Christopher
Sykes) after a tiger escapes from the
local zoo.
As each character revels in their
personal stage of depression, they must
rely on one another to lift themselves
out of their problems had its initial
premier with the Roundabout Theatre
Company in New York in 2010, to
positive reception, after which it was
revised and is currently playing at the
Wyly Theater under the direction of
Hal Brooks.

What
really
brings
out
Rosenstock’s terrifically witty writing
is the incredible cast. Current MFA
student Aleisha Force literally has the
audience doubled over in laughter in
her embodiment of Grace, Sherry’s
older sister, who so distraught over
her breakup with her boyfriend, Troy,
that she has not only not moved from
the couch in weeks, but has taken
to stealing Troy’s possessions and
stashing them around the house.
Her delivery is consistently nothing
short of spot-on, and her performance
is sure to be a favorite of 2012.
Brierly Resident Acting Company
members Abbey Siegworth (SMU
MFA Alum) and Chamblee Ferguson
put forth equally strong performances
as the younger sister struggling as an
art therapist and the rifle-toting school
principle, respectively.
Siegworth has a subtle, anxious
tension about her that lends a tone

of neuroticism to Sherry. Siegworth’s
Sherry is likeable and charming,
especially when paired with her
onstage sister, Grace (Force).
Ferguson relishes in Joseph’s shoes,
taking Joseph’s bizarre quirks just far
enough as to be as to be as comical
as possible without sacrificing realism
or breaking the illusion of the play.
Christopher Sykes settles quite nicely
into the role of Zack, Joseph’s son and
Sherry’s patent/love interest. Sykes
is comfortable and natural onstage,
and his final monologue is a perfect
ending to the show.
While the characters’ intentions
were clear, it was not always clear
what each character was working
towards, a firm plot, in the play to
keep the audience immersed.
This is rarely a problem as the
interaction between characters is so
entertaining, but the lack of any real
major conflict or plot other than the
loose tiger slows down the pacing of

LGBT community.”
Luna spoke from facts and
personal beliefs surrounding LGBT
communities around the country,
stressing what he believes the needs
are for the community.
As the podium was extended on
this matter, questions from student
senate members were placed before
Luna about the proposed event
and financing.
The podium was extended a
second time for further questions.

Later in the meeting it was heavily
disputed whether or not funding
would be given to the proposed event
and program.
Following Luna, Alan Weeks took
to the podium, sharing a program
he created to make the registration
process a little easier.
The program allows the enrollee
to pin classes he or she likes and
choose when the best time for classes
would be, morning, evening, or
midday. Currently, one other school

uses the program while Texas Tech
is putting the system in for their
orientation students.
On a side note, another school
that has used the registration program
has had no down time-meaning it has
never crashed.
It is far to early to determine if
the program will make its way to
SMU, yet it seems it would be very
popular among students.

agenda- President Austin Prentice.
Secretary Martha Ann Pool met

but not impossible.
She also informed the Senate
that President Prentices’ idea to
make Monday parking in various
spots of University Park will be

and Fraternities parking has taken
affect. Secretary Pool also spoke

size
and

lengthy
operating hours (sometimes
up to 20 hours each day), and
driving conditions.
Sgt. Stephen Hoyer, fleet
supervisor for the Dallas Police
Department, said squad cars
mainly operate in residential
areas, driving with city stop-andgo traffic.
Hoyer said that in-city gas
mileage is much lower than the
average commuter’s highway
drive. In some cases, even highway
driving can lead to high fuel
consumption.
“When you’re in a car
chase, you consume fuel very
quickly running at high speeds,”
Hoyer said.
For these police activities,
and other city operations, cutting
back on fuel consumption is
simply not an option. Vehicles
in the police, fire, sanitation
and water departments account
for 82 percent of the city’s fuel
consumption, but Thompson
said those areas are also the
most essential.
Take Henderson’s job for
example. Those 35 gallons to
37 gallons of fuel just one of
the sanitation department’s

continued from page 1

18-wheelers consumes on a
daily basis are used to pick up
brush and other debris from
residential areas.
Despite this high fuel
consumption, Henderson said
her department could simply not
be spared.
“It’s a health hazard … the
trash has to come up off the
ground,” she said.
Since cutting back on fuel
consumption isn’t an option,
the city is taking a different
approach to reducing costs. Over
the past two decades the city of
Dallas has been moving into
alternative fuel.
Of
the 4,800 vehicles
Thompson manages, 37 percent
operate on alternative fuels such as
compressed natural gas, biodiesel
or hybrid electric.
Thompson estimates these
vehicles have saved the city
hundreds of thousands of dollars
in fuel costs.
“We probably pay…two and
a half times more for a gallon of
unleaded gas compared to a gallon
equivalent of compressed natural
gas,” Thompson said.
According
to
gasbuddy.
com, regular unleaded gasoline

costs $3.49 per gallon in
Dallas, compared to $2.40 for a
comparable gallon of compressed
natural gas.
In addition to these alternative
fuel
measures,
Thompson
promotes simple gas saving tips
for all city employees. Messages
about carpooling, making fewer
trips, removing unnecessary
items or extra weight from
vehicles, keeping all vehicles
well maintained, and avoiding
idling are emailed out to entire
city staff and hung on posters in
fueling centers.
In the next year, the city
of Dallas is also stepping up
its fuel monitoring system,
equipping all city vehicles with
technology to gauge each vehicle’s
fuel consumption.
“Every time a car or vehicle
gets fuel, we’ll be able to get a
very accurate odometer reading
and we’ll know how many miles
that vehicle has traveled and
some other information about
how its being used,” Thompson
said. Despite these conservation
measures, Thompson said it
is difficult to stay within the
annual fuel budget when prices
spike unexpectedly.

restaurant as a child. He wanted
a different atmosphere and a
friendly staff.
“I remember it would be a
Wednesday and someone would
come up to Harvey and ask him for
ketchup and he would yell back at
them ‘It’s Wednesday! You don’t
get ketchup on Wednesdays!’”
Francis said.
As amused as he was by these
antics as a child, Francis wanted
a friendlier restaurant. Instead of
giving people a hard time when
they came in, he aimed at having
a warmer atmosphere with a more
user-friendly approach.
“It’s a joke with some of the
regulars that I have ketchup on
the table now so they don’t have
to ask for it.” Francis said. “ The
joke is that it’s the same food but it’s
more friendly.”
While Francis has tried to
recreate the original look of Goff ’s,
he did add a new design element
to the new place. He decorates
the restaurant with old Dallas and
SMU memorabilia. The walls are
filled with old newspaper clippings
about SMU football. Black and
white photos of Dallas Hall when it
was first built can be seen, and there
is a rare photo of how small SMU

was in 1911 when it first opened
its doors. Old SMU banners and
past newspaper articles about local
triumphs show customers some
of Dallas’s rich history. A selfconfessed history buff, Francis has
received many donations to hang on
the wall. Customers often give him
Dallas artifacts to be shown off at
the restaurant.
SMU student Alexa Dow, 20,
is a regular customer of Goff ’s,
partly because of the decorations.
She grew up in Baton Rouge, which
has a lot of town spirit and even
more love for the local university,
LSU. She says that Dallas is such
a big city and it’s sad to her that its
citizens don’t celebrate SMU. She
loves how Goff ’s shows off SMU
paraphernalia and shows some
Mustang pride. She wishes other
local restaurants would support
her school, but since Goff ’s does so
willingly, it has won her loyalty.
Goff ’s has caught the eye of
more well-known figures in the
Dallas as well. SMU student John
Angle, 21, first went to the joint after
hearing that it was Laura Bush’s
favorite burger place in Dallas.
After his first trip, he was hooked on
the burgers.
Francis confirmed that the

former President and First Lady

figures that want Goff ’s. He has seen
Dallas sports players swing by his
restaurants on multiple occasions.
“You never know who you’re
going to see,” Francis said.
Customers can still get a chili,
cheese and onion burger, or a
hickory sauce burger. But Francis
has added on a few of his own
creations to other parts, of the menu
such as “The Diet Special,” which is
two patties or chicken with lettuce,
tomato, and cheese, as well as the
chicken breast sandwich.
Perhaps it is this blend that keeps
customers coming back. While
Francis loves that his customers
enjoy his food, what he likes the
most is the relationship he has built
with his regulars. It’s one of his
favorite parts of owning Goff ’s.
“I love it when I see a regular’s
car and know what they are going
to order as they are pulling in,”
Francis said.
While Francis may have his
regulars’ orders memorized, he
doesn’t have a staple he personally
sticks to.
“You know, I’m always rotating
what I order,” Francis said.

Texas takes television

Even the drama is bigger in the Lone Star State
Compiled by Cassandra Robinson and Katelyn Hall

We’ve all heard that everything is bigger in Texas. But is it necessarily better? Current television soaps “GCB” and “Big Rich Texas” put this
question to the test. While the shows are certainly jammed packed with drama reminiscent to the E! channel’s Real Housewives series, they are not
necessarily pleasing their audiences in the suburbs of Texas. “GCB” takes place in Highland Park and “Big Rich Texas” in the DFW metroplex.
But residents of those areas aren’t necessarily seeing the appeal of the hyped-up shows.

‘GCB’
With “GCB” publicized
that the show would be sharing
Darren Star, the creator of the
addictive “Sex and the City”
series of the early 2000s, “GCB”
initially seemed like it was sure
to entertain audiences.
However, three episodes
into the ABC primetime show’s
first season, the Texas-based
soap opera has not received
positive reviews.
Some
of
the
show’s
exterior shots were filmed on
SMU’s campus.
The show has had viewers,
some of which are SMU
students, up in arms since
its premiere on March 4.
“As a native Texan, I am
offended. It doesn’t accurately
display Dallas,” SMU junior
Sam Zivin said.
The show’s former title was
“Good Christian Bitches,” but
the primetime show was forced
to change the title to “Good
Christian Belles.”
This was due to ABC logistics
even though it disregards the
accuracy of the “bitchy” title.
Also, the show is set in
Highland Park, Texas, which
is the ultimate location for a
wealthy Texan socialite.
The soap is based off the
book “Good Christian Bitches”
by Kim Gatlin. Gatlin knows
the ins and outs of Highland
Park by also being a resident of
the enclave.

The lead character and
“Queen Bitch” of the
television series is Carlene
Cockburn, played by
former Broadway star
Kristin Chenoweth.
Chenoweth has the
credentials and vocals
for the show, however,
she does not satisfy
viewers while in front
of the camera.
Even though the
soap takes place in
SMU students’ college
town, many students do
not find the

plot of
the show
amusing.
“As
another
native Texan I
don’t think the plot
is funny, the only reason it is
funny is because the characters
and their hair are outlandish
and ridiculous,” SMU senior
Kari Rood said.
Dallas-based Pegasus News
reports similar findings that
Dallas locales find the show’s
premise and plot to be too
extreme to be entertaining.

‘Big Rich Texas’
The
Style
Network’s
primetime show “Big Rich
Texas” has reached its second
season full of dramatic and
dolled-up Texans.
Based out of the Dallas/
Fort Worth region, five well-todo women and their daughters
provide pitiful yet hilarious
entertainment as they are

followed
at their elitist
summer country
club.
Since the reality
show’s second season
debut on Feb. 19,
there have been five
episodes portraying
the Dallas social
scene in a uninspiring

and insulting manner.
The show is filmed around
the Highland Park area. Many
of the television show’s scenes
occur at the Woodhaven
Country Club.
“(The show is) not very
engaging. I don’t watch TV very
often and it wasn’t really worth
my time,” SMU sophomore
Kelly Mathison said.
It was a lot of spoiled
girls
not
really
doing
anything interesting.”
With “Big Rich Texas’”
having characters that promote
dating men only for their money,
the reality show’s support is
ought to be limited.
Other characters include
mothers
Leslie
and
Bon, along with Bon’s
daughter Whitney.
Leslie is a irrational
mother
and
causes
controversy at the country
club, while Bon is a Dallas
Belle who uses far too much
hairspray.
Whitney is a rebellious
22-year-old
and
totally
tatted-up.
She supposedly aspires to be
a plastic surgeon, but her career
doesn’t look promising.
Whether Texans approve
of the reality show or not, the
state is unfortunately getting
publicity in a stereotypical and
negative light.

Music icons
host SMU
masters class
Katelyn hall
Associate A&E Editor
khall@smu.edu
It is not often that one
gets to work with legendary
musical theater icons.
But SMU students had that
opportunity Tuesday when
French composers Alain
Boublil and Claude-Michel
Schönberg came to campus
to teach a masters class.
The music masters class
was part of a series of events
Boublil and Schönberg are
participating in this week in
anticipation of their musical
spectacular “Do You Hear the
People Sing,” which will take
place in American Airlines
Arena Friday.
Boublil and Schönberg
are the composer and lyricist
for “Les Misérables,” “Miss
Saigon,”” Pirate Queen,”
among others.
In the masters class, the
pair gave advice to current
SMU music students.
The upcoming production,
“Do You Hear the People
Sing,” features a Broadway
cast, the Dallas Pops Orchestra
and the Turtle Creek Chorale,
a chorus of over 100 people.
The performance will also
feature a children’s choir and
a multimedia presentation.
Stars of the performance
include Lea Salonga from
“Miss Saigon,” Terrance
Mann, of “Les Miserables”
and Stephanie J. Block,
of “Wicked” and “Les
Miserables,” and television
hit “Glee.”
Music in “Do You Hear
the People Sing” will range
from “Les Miserables” hits
to those of “Miss Saigon”
and more.

Walk into my room, look in my closet, and on the floor you
will see a pile of leather loafers. Loafers with D-rings, loafers
with tassels, loafers with little perforations on them; I wear them
every day.
I always thought that loafers provided great protection from
the elements. Every time I walk on concrete, my loafers keep my
feet from hurting. While I’m driving, my loafers keep my feet
cozy in my car. Heck, even in the small bit of snow last year I
wore loafers around. Why? Because they’re sturdy and protect
my feet as long as I don’t try to walk across any hidden puddles.
However, yesterday I realized that my loafers don’t protect me
from everything. While driving back from a meeting, Niagara
Falls decided to migrate to Dallas. Of course, what did I slip
on before I walked out of my dorm and into a storm? A pair of
leather loafers. Needless to say, they’re soaked (still), smell kind
of funny (gross) and are out of service for the time being (one
down, 5 pair left… whew!) Howsoever, they’ll dry and will be
back on my feet in no time.
I used to view my relationships and loafers the same way. I
always dated a few people at time, they were all gorgeous people,
comforting, provided some sort of protection or stability in my
life, and when one disappeared for a while I just switched him
out for another. Now, I view my relationships like a sturdy pair
of rain boots.
Rain boots can go out in anything. They can handle the dry
ground, a large puddle, ice, rivers and stomp out a fire. They’re
virtually indestructible. I’m now looking for a relationship
that’s virtually indestructible. I value people who can withstand
a few cloudy days, but also be there with me when it’s sunny.
I’m searching for someone that doesn’t mind providing a bit of
security (which I would of course reciprocate), and I’m not even
worried about them looking flashy. Practicality will do.
Of course, this all sounds kind of dumb, but I buy several
pairs of loafers every couple of years, but only one good pair of
rain boots every now and then. Just like my loafers, I used to go
from date to date, relationship to relationship, but for a while
now I’ve been incredibly content with finding that high-quality
guy who will stick around awhile. So guys, girls, stop buying,
ahem, I mean dating people who you can switch out on a whim
and aren’t worth anything but arm candy. Maybe it’s time for
some of us to start looking for those rainboot kind of people,
and invest our time and energy into something that lasts.

REPUBLICAN
TUCKER KEENE
tkeene@smu.edu
The four remaining candidates
in the GOP nomination race
were no Republican’s first choice
for presidential candidates. The
best candidates all sat out this
year: Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal,
Mitch Daniels, Chris Christie,
Jeb Bush, John Thune and Paul
Ryan all would have made great
candidates.
Instead
we
got
two
congressional gadflies, a disgraced
former Speaker, a pizza salesman
with no electoral experience, an
opportunist, one term governor
who was too embarrassed to
bother running for reelection, a
Senator who lost his last election
in a huge landslide and a man
who worked for Obama and was
otherwise a carbon copy of the
formerly mentioned governor. We
also got the promising candidates
of Thaddeus McCotter, Rick Perry
and Tim Pawlenty, but the first
never had the name recognition
needed to get into the debates,
the second apparently thought
the race would be a cakewalk
and didn’t prepare himself at all
and the third didn’t have enough
fight in him and dropped out way
too early.
So now, we’re left with the
disgraced Speaker, one of the two
congressional gadflies, the losing
Senator and the opportunist one
term governor. I did a calculation,
and if the opportunist wins every
single delegate from now on, he
can’t clinch the nomination before
May 8.
Of course, this won’t happen,
even if he wins every single
contest between now and May
8th, he won’t win 100 percent of
the delegates. So it is quite likely
that this contest will continue into
the summer and possibly right up
to the convention, but it could
realistically be over as early as late
May, with the Texas primary.
Some people think that a
long primary is going to hurt us
in the fall, and that a brokered
convention would yield a broken
candidate. A brokered convention

couldn’t possibly yield a more
broken candidate than any of the
candidates we have now.
A long primary isn’t worth
lamenting over either. It certainly
didn’t hurt Obama in 08, who
didn’t clinch the nomination until
early June. What it did do was
strengthen him, get him geared up
for the fight in the fall and make
all of his dirty laundry old news
by the time Palin and McCain
wanted to bring it up in the fall.
Our candidates certainly can’t get
weaker, can they?
I’ve said this several times
before but I think it bears
repeating: when I look at these
four candidates, I think to myself,
there is no way that any of these
guys could possibly beat Obama.
And then I look at the President,
and think, “There is no way that
he can win reelection.”
Republicans need not worry
too much. Obama’s major
legislative achievement is still
wildly unpopular and will be
put to the test next week in the
Supreme Court, which he has been
demonizing for years. Obama has
few friends on the bench.
Unemployment may be going
down, but it is largely due to
people leaving the labor force, not
finding jobs. A recent CBS news
report showed that Obama has
added more Federal Debt in his
3 years than Bush did in 8 years,
and another CBS poll showed he
recently hit his lowest approval
rating yet, at 41 percent.
He has great difficulty being
ahead in swing state polls, a
recent one showing him down
four points in four different crucial
swings states, to Rick Santorum,
who many said is too far right to
win (which is bogus, but that’s for
another article).
The GOP has a lot of reason to
be disgruntled and annoyed by the
candidates left in the race, but any
of them would be an improvement
over Obama, and any one of them
would at least give Obama a very
strong fight in November.

DEMOCRAT
MICHAEL WILBURN
mwilburn@smu.edu
The elephant in the newsroom
has been the Republican Primaries.
The circus will not pack up until
August when the Republican
National Convention is held.
I was not excited in the least
at the start of the Republican
Primaries. In my opinion, there is
not a Republican candidate that
would make a good presidential
candidate. But the primaries have
been interesting nonetheless.
There have been numerous
quotes from candidates that
catch your attention. Each of the
remaining candidates has said
something throughout the primaries
that targets a certain group. Mitt
Romney said, “I’m not concerned
about the very poor. We have a
safety net there.” Rick Santorum
said, “I don’t want to make black
people’s lives better by giving them
somebody else’s money; I want to
give them the opportunity to go out
and earn the money.” Newt Gingrich
said, “Really poor children, in really
poor neighborhoods, have no habits
of working and have nobody around
them who works.” Ron Paul claims
he would have voted against the
Civil Rights Act.
It astonishes me that a person
running for the highest elected
position in a country as diverse as
the United States would make such
outrageous comments. There have
been numerous other infamous
quotes as well. I believe a president
should take all Americans into
consideration, not stereotype them,
and also be sensitive to their needs. I
have seen a total lack of compassion
in the Republican Primaries, which
disturbs me greatly.
Another interesting dynamic
of the Republican Primaries is
observing how the Citizens United
ruling is playing out. The power
of Super PACS has been evident.
Candidates tumble in polls after
being attacked by a spending push
from a Super PAC. It is not possible
to fully analyze the impact of Super
PACS on the Republican Primaries
until they are over, but perhaps
the worst outcome from Citizens

United is the diminished voice of
the average voter. Candidates are
able to continue running while
ignoring the average citizen due to
the corporate influence in campaign
finance.
Allowing
unlimited
campaign contributions corrupts
the government. The candidates
are simply answering to whoever is
paying for their campaign. Citizens
United allows for corporations to
run the United States if they choose,
allowing the wealthiest entities to
influence elections as they see fit.
This is why candidates don’t have
to worry about wild quotes, because
they are not running for the people,
but for the lobby.
What surprises me most is the
lack of unity in the Republican
Party. Mitt Romney has been the
frontrunner. He does not excite
the base, and many are looking for
the anti-Romney. This schism in
the party has ruined the chance of
producing a winning presidential
candidate. While many antiRomney candidates exist, they do
not appeal to the independent voters
needed to win the election. Romney
is the most electable candidate, yet
despite that fact there is still strong
opposition to him. Romney is going
to end up spending money that
could have been used in November
to deal with this protracted fight.
The extra fighting will prove costly
come November.
I predict Willard Mitt Romney
will be the Republican nominee.
It may not be a pretty win, but he
will be the one to run against the
incumbent Barack Obama. I believe
that Barack Obama will win the
presidential election. Romney has
trouble exciting people who say
“Anyone but Obama,” and even
more of a challenge appealing to
independents. Since he is the best
the Republican Party can offer, I
don’t see a different administration
in the future. This primary has
intrigued me most because it seems
like the Republicans are giving this
election away.

Kony campaign founder stops at nothing
DEANNA DANIELS
ddaniels@smu.edu
On March 5, the non-profit
organization Invisible Children
released their viral Kony 2012
video with hopes that it would bring
campaign awareness to a target
audience of 500,000 viewers. Today,
the organization, its filmmaker Jason
Russell and most importantly, the
video’s war crimes target, Joseph
Kony, have skyrocketed into instant
fame as YouTube viewers number
more than 80 million. Invisible
Children representatives visited the
SMU campus March 7.
As a marketing student in the Cox
School of Business, this campaign
has caught and mesmerized my
interest, and without even noticing,
I began taking notes.
After the video’s release, Anderson
Cooper spoke about his own
experience reporting on the LRA’s
activities, saying that he has “Seen
it and worked on it for years. Done
stories about it for years. Worked in
Africa for years…” Yet, it is easy to
take note that Cooper, even in his
famed service, had not garnished
the viral attention that Russell’s 27
minute video had induced.
What made the difference?
Invisible Children’s team says
that part of the video’s success is
because of their simplistic approach.
Interestingly, this is one of the very
things that critics have spent the
last thirteen days bashing them
for—repeatedly.
In the New York Times bestseller
“Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas
Survive and Others Die by Chip and

Dan Heath,” these brothers identify
the first principle in sticky ideas as
simplicity. In quantitative measures,
it appears their simplistic approach
is obviously successful, regardless
of critics.
Last Friday, just eight days after
the video’s release, news broke
of Invisible Children’s filmmaker
Russell’s
public
breakdown.
Russell was taken to a hospital for
mental observation after authorities
reported that he was found on a
public intersection in various states
of undress, vandalizing vehicles and
doing what some witnesses reported
as masturbating in public. Speechless,
I am still taking notes.
I am now noting that there is a
price that comes with fame. Perhaps
Donald Miller, Christian author of
“Blue Like Jazz,” said it best when he
blogged about Russell’s breakdown,
“There aren’t many things harder in
life than dealing with fame.
And dealing with sudden,
explosive fame is harder than
anything most of us can imagine.”
As much as I would like to design a
viral marketing campaign, would I
be prepared to handle the fame and
criticism that would accompany it?
Russell’s wife Danica released
this statement:
“Jason has dedicated his adult
life to this cause, leading up to
KONY2012. We thought a few
thousand people would see the film,
but in less than a week, millions of
people around the world saw it. While
that attention was great for raising
awareness about Joseph Kony, it also
brought a lot of attention to Jason.
And because of how personal the

by jungle militia leader Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army is rocketing into viral video territory and is racking up millions of page views seemingly by the hour.

film is, many of the attacks against
it were also very personal, and Jason
took them very hard.
Let us say up front that Jason
has never had a substance abuse
or drinking problem, and this
episode wasn’t caused by either of
those things. But yes, he did some
irrational things brought on by
extreme exhaustion and dehydration.
On our end, the focus remains only
on his health, and protecting our
family. We’ll take care of Jason, you
take care of the work. The message
of the film remains the same: stop
at nothing.”
My last note is to remember that
we are all humans who strive for
success, yet can never fully mitigate
the risk for mistakes. I love how
Thought Category blogger Todd
Clayton conveys this “The problem
is, at some point, we all will fall.
We will wish we could have done

things differently, and we can only
hope that our inevitable shortcomings don’t make their way to
the desktops of millions around the
world.” Poignantly, he goes on to
say “May we remember that we are
all Jason.”
As of today, there are 284 days
left in the Kony 2012 campaign. Its
success can only be determined in
the future. I am curious to know, if
Russell had known before he released
the Kony 2012 video that it would
lead to a mental breakdown for him,
would he still have done it? I hope he
gets a chance to answer this someday,
and I hope his answer would be
yes. Isn’t that what the hashtag
#stopatnothing really means?

The ladies are coming off of a
strong performance this past week at
the TCU Horned Frog Invitational
and hope to continue their success
for the rest of the outdoor season.
First-year Craishia Washington

“It’s a great accomplishment
and I hope to continue on this path.

Consistency is the key,” Washington
said.
At last year’s Bobby Lane

athletes were successful.
Senior Amber Evans took fourth
in the 400-meters with a time of
54.23, and also finished fourth as a
member of the 4x400 relay team.
Like the sprinters, the throwers
were able to add substantial points
of their own to the board.
Senior Ayla Gill took home gold
in the hammer throw last year, with
an impressive 53.17-meter toss.

While many Mustangs spent
spring break 2012 making waves in
the ocean, the SMU women’s swim
team spent the break making waves
in the pool.
On March 17, the Mustangs placed
16th at the Women’s Swimming and

Diving Championships in Auburn,
Ala. With a total of 67 points, SMU
was able to grab the 16th place
standing swimming past Georgia
and Southern California.
Isabella Arcila showed why
she says she feels most natural in
the water as she, Genny Konicke,
Monika Babok and Nina Rangelova
raced past competitors to finish the
400-yard relay in 3:15.96 to earn

11th place.
Senior Therese Svendsen ended a
successful season and career with an
11th place standing in the 200-yard
backstroke with a time of 1:54.11
and another All-America title to add
to her honors.
This
season
alone,
Svendsen earned a total of four
All-America titles.
This years placement in the

200-yard backstroke is eight places
above Svendsen’s performance at the
NCAA competition in 2011.
During her time with SMU,
the team captain has been named
Conference USA Swimmer of the
